Congrants,
mfaer
. I remember thinking that I was OK with the content, but at some point in the process (we had a 2 week take home exam), I started to think that if I didn't pass, I'd lose my insurance, my job, my reason for being in Beautiful City...
That
made me nervous! It's nice to have all that angst over with, isn't it?

I passed my oral exam, and actually more or less enjoyed the experience (though I am mostly now enjoying the experience of being ABD)!
